2022-2023
Key Dates, Times, and Locations
The Central Texas State Veterans Cemetery kiosk for the gravesite locator is working, but there will be long lines to use it during the wreath laying on the Saturday of Thanksgiving weekend. Cell phone service will also be spotty and slow, so we highly recommend you research the grave location of a battle buddy, friend, or family member as soon as you can. No need to use a QR code.
